I am working in a university library. I therefore wanted to start this blog to talk about libraries and especially library 2.0. I also wanted to discuss web 2.0 with the blogosphere.

Rory Litwin's blog

Read a great post on Rory Litwin's blog, called The Central Problem with Library 2.0. I was forwarded by a friend, and discusses how the more early uptakers of the Library 2.0 are sometimes forgetting a central tenet of librarians and librarianship, privacy. Litwin discuss' how many of the social networking site's although useful tools are not without there problems when it come's to privacy. He underline's this point in that Rupert Murdoch has access to content users information when using myspace. Litwin reminds us that some people's evangelism can be them from seeing other problems. But check it. Its a very good read.
